About Pocklington Junior School

Pocklington Junior School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2019, and an ungraded visit in October 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained. The inspection breakdown is particularly telling: behaviour and attitudes were judged Outstanding, while quality of education, personal development, and leadership and management all received Good ratings. This is a significant improvement from the school's previous graded inspection in 2016, when it was rated Requires Improvement overall. On the most concrete academic metric available, the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results show that 49% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the East Riding of Yorkshire local authority average of 61%, and places the school 83rd out of 106 primary schools in the area. Just 1% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects.
